Wimpole Home Farm is a mixed organic farm, directly run and managed by the National Trust. By farming with nature in a sustainable way, they've seen the number of farmland birds - which are declining nationally - double their numbers over the last six years. The farm is also home to a thriving population of insects - including 95 rare and protected species.
One of the keys to their success is producing good quality organic silage - and in this film, farm manager Callum Weir explains how they do it. You can find out more about Wimpole at [ Ссылка ] or follow our video diary series on Youtube.
Last year, the farm produced 142 tonnes of wheat - enough to make 200,000 loaves of bread, or over four million scones - 123 tonnes of organic barley – equivalent to what’s needed to make nearly 1.5million pints of beer and 126 tonnes of organic oats - equivalent to over 2.5 million bowls of porridge[9].
We protect and care for places so people and nature can thrive. Everyone can get involved, everyone can make a difference. Nature, beauty, history. For everyone, for ever.
